I have been lurking around, getting to know everyone through your posts. What a wonderful and supportive group of people. (Must be because we're not all cranky from dieting!

Anyway, I posted about this AD-NAUSUEM on my daily check-in but this is such a big accomplishment for me, I feel like shouting it from the rooftops, so I just had to share! I have struggled FOREVER with sitting down and paying attention when I eat. I have tried to do it many, many times but just ended up feeling lonely and blue and bingeing. I could sit down, yes, but only at the computer or while watching TV.
I did a lot of thinking about this yesterday (today is my Day 1) and at first I attributed it to childhood abandonment, being single, my sad life, blah blah blah etc...

So I decided to go to the store and get things I really, really liked to eat (no sweets though

I know this seems like such a small thing, but for me, this is HUGE!!!! I WILL NEVER DIET AGAIN!!! This was such a great lesson. And truth be told, I didn't end up loving everthing on my plate and I realized that it was too big. But isn't that what it's all about? Finding out what I like (and how much) and eating it, rather than being TOLD what to eat? Love it.
I'm on cloud 9! Thank you to Reinhard & everyone on these boards! Tomorrow night I plan to do the same!
